Please help. My users are not getting a logon box.
I have secured the mdb both with the Security Wizard and
also tried several times with the manual process following
the step by step Access FAQ documentation. I have done
this successfully in the past but yesterday was the first
time users had no logon. I followed Section 40 of Access
FAQ to troubleshoot and still have same issue. The Users
group doesnt have OPEN/RUN permissions and the Admin user
has been removed from the Admins group.
What is interesting is that if I go to any of the users
workstations and open the backend MDB from there, then
JOIN the mdb to the mdw then it works.
Users workstations are not reading the defaulted mdw. What
have I done wrong? Could it be that theres another mdw
that their workstations are reading?
Please please help. thank you.
 
How are you opening the database? Often you're better off using a desktop
shortcut with the Target set to this:

"Path to msaccess.exe" "Path to your database" /wrkgrp "Path to your
workgroup"

Regardless of what workgroups exists on your user's machines, this will open
their database using the workgroup you specify.
